Day 62

Yesterday I talked a little about the growing variety of Miles's cries. While full-on crying only really happens in one of those three circumstances (for now...), we have noticed that certain situations compel him to voice at least minor distaste in the form of fussing. The most consistent of these thus far has proven to … Continue reading Day 62 →

Day 61

I've mentioned in a couple posts lately that Miles has started getting cranky at sporadic times throughout the evening and night. While both Jaclyn and I have started to discern the subtle differences between the "I'm hungry" cry and the "I'm stinky" cry, tonight we were treated to the pure distillation of his evening crankiness … Continue reading Day 61 →

Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War

Tonight, Miles had his first babysitter experience so Jaclyn and I could attend an opening night showing of the new Avengers movie. The first difference I noticed in post-baby movie-going was that I actually asked Jaclyn if she was keeping her cell phone on during the movie. The next was a realization I wasn't really … Continue reading Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War →

Day 58

Lordy, lordy! Look who's...two months old!

Day 57

As mentioned previously, Miles loves to suck. As his dexterity has improved, he's really taken a liking to sucking on his wrist. Tonight, Jaclyn and I were trying to watch ONE GODDAMN HOUR OF TELEVISION when we were interrupted by some of the most obnoxious sucking noises in history. Have a listen (things really get … Continue reading Day 57 →

Day 56

Following the consumption of something that catastrophically failed to agree with her, Jaclyn spent most of the day in bed feeling miserable. While I certainly felt bad for her, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been looking at the situation optimistically, as it gave me and Miles a chance to hang out, no … Continue reading Day 56 →

Day 54

It's really cool seeing how, each day, Miles becomes a little more aware of the world around him. This morning, for instance, I came out of the bathroom post-shower, and Miles's reaction looked like this: Yes, he full-on Kramered when I stepped out.

Day 52

Miles was pretty cranky yesterday, and he followed that up with his first restless night since leaving the hospital. Sporadic fussing throughout the evening and night kept Jaclyn returning to his bassinet in a half-conscious stupor as she tried to comfort him. I kept my distance (i.e., "attempted to sleep") throughout it all, only making … Continue reading Day 52 →

Day 51

I can always tell when Jaclyn's had a rough day with Miles because the second I get home from work she'll immediately say, "Want to see daddy???" to him and lift him towards me. This includes trivia nights, when my turnaround time at home is roughly 5 minutes. The problem for me is that I … Continue reading Day 51 →

Day 50

Jaclyn sends me texts throughout the day, usually pictures, to show me what Miles is up to, what cute outfit he has on, how massive his dump was, etc. Today, however, I got a particularly exciting message: I cannot put into words how much I want to hear this.
